For more than two thousand years, The Art of War has provided leaders with essential tactical and management advice. An elemental part of Chinese culture, it has also become a touchstone in the West for achieving success, whether on the battlefield or in business. This Vintage Classics edition features a brilliant translation by Peter Harris, first published by Everyman's Library in 2018. Alongside the pithy and powerful ancient text, Harris includes notes, maps, a chronology of Chinese dynasties, extracts from the canon of classical Chinese commentators and an illuminating introduction on the warrior-philosopher Sun Tzu and the role of The Art of War in history and today.
